1 Unravelling which factors affect where tropical trees grow is an important goal for ecologists and conservationists. At the landscape scale, debate mostly focused on degree to distributions of tree species are determined by soil conditions or neutral, distance-dependent processes. Problems with spatial autocorrelation, sparse sampling, inclusion species-poor sites extreme edaphic conditions, difficulty obtaining sufficient sample sizes have all complicated assessments high diversity...
The tropical flora remains chronically understudied and the lack of floristic understanding hampers ecological research its application for large-scale conservation planning. Given scarce resources scale challenge there is a need to maximize efficiency both sampling strategies units, yet little information on relative different approaches assessment in forests. This paper first attempt address this gap. We repeatedly sampled forests two regions Amazonia using most widely used plot-based...
Abstract This study aims to document the diversity of medicinal plants used by Cashinahua people (also known as Huni Kuin ) Curanja River, well describe and compare their uses with pharmacological phytochemical records from previously published studies. The ethnic has been studied a limited extent an ethnobotanical perspective. area is located in Ucayali region, eastern Central Amazon, where ancestral knowledge preserved due accessibility region. Between November 2010 June 2015, total 11...
Plants mentioned in this study have numerous records traditional Peruvian medicine being used treatment of cancer and other diseases likely to be associated with oxidative stress. Amongst the eight plant species tested, only Dysphania ambrosioides exhibited combinatory antioxidant anti-proliferative effect on a broad spectrum cells (DPPH ORAC values = 80.6 687.3 μg TE/mg extract, respectively; IC50 against Caco-2, HT-29 Hep-G2 129.2, 69.9 130.6, respectively). Alkaloids phenolic compounds...
This paper examines the relationship between children's theoretical knowledge of wild food plants in relation to sociocultural group, sex, and age context social environmental change. Theoretical was assessed by evaluating composition cultural domain "wild plants," naming ability, cognitive salience. Freelistings were conducted with 57 Indigenous Shipibo-Konibo children mestizo Ucayali, one regions highest deforestation rates Peruvian Amazon. A total 120 listed all children, 72 95 children....
This article is the first study on naming strategies in ethnobotanical nomenclature of medicinal plants Cashinahua (Pano). linguistic group located Yuruá-Purús basin, border between Peru and Brazil. focuses variety spoken Peru. First, within framework cognitive semantics, we have seen use an important series metonymies, metaphors metaphtonymies to name a whole paradigm according their uses cosmovision. A taxonomy has also been identified that distinguishes with generic distinct curative...
Purpose A research-practice team was convened for the Machupicchu World Heritage Site to participate in Place Lab (HPL), with goal of building a practice-informed research agenda designed support management needs site. Design/methodology/approach The built based on both HPL methodology and complementary one. Findings proposed centres three priorities: (1) Ecosystem services well-being, (2) local sustainable development cultural heritage, (3) mixed-heritage integration conservation. Practical...
